It’s hit or miss. Some employers check your references diligently and others don’t.

When I hired someone (creative field) we definitely checked their job title in conjunction with what their portfolio looked like, whether they passed a test and how well they interviewed.

Some had great references, but not those other things.

If you can’t do your job and don’t know basic things, I don’t care who you know. They would get further screened for educational and criminal background anyways.

This looks like the basement from a certain episode of Black Mirror.

I went with my nephew trick or treating. I saw a bunch of people crowded around one house so I went to see what they were so scared of. Maybe the image will pop up. If not there was a giant spider and web over the porch. Occasionally a loud sound would boom and a creature would burst from the side of the porch. Then the kids would scream lol.

Imagin a giant spider on the trail. That would be cool.

The bomb was in the top left you say? How? I’m too tired to figure it out.

But I did download Minesweeper immediately after seeing this post. I think I need to flex my brain more.

Why is there an app for some of these models? Or that’s what I read. I’m looking at prices and such now.

Edit: oooh you got an equalizer on the app. That’s pretty sweet. I am leaning toward the q45 honestly. I deserve fancy headphones lol

I wonder if it’s really that much better than 35s

So much of that was like “is this me?!” Lol. Especially 2. And the other stuff was like “you need to be doing this!”

This is about to be all over the place.

Firstly I’m saving this whole list.

I write every day because if I don’t I feel awful. But I need to discipline myself into just writing my story out and then doing the prose. Sometimes I can do the right order, and sometimes I can’t. I hate my brain sometimes!

Over here I’ve got ADHD and OCD going on. So I keep fixating on particular things. And it’s so hard for me to make the whole outline.

It’s like it hurts to move on until the writing is perfect. Which it never is.

I have scenes that I have to write in totality because the scene is there in my brain. I have chapters completed far down the line because the scene is stuck in my brain. Will it fit later? No idea. Ugh.

I think I will do as you do and write out the damn outline. It’s hard for me to move on without constant editing. It’s so exhausting.

Sorry! That was one big old ramble. 😭

Our second little hellion was found on the car engine lol. He was almost a goner 😬

If you are in enough mental distress self harm starts looking like a real good idea as an excuse to not go to work. Of course it’s not logical or reasonable. It’s a reaction to stress. It’s an irrational intrusive thought.

If I hadn’t experienced something similar I would feel a little skeptical. :(

What’s your process like? I am having a spot of trouble in that department at the moment lol

Do you have an example?

I am writing mine in first person past tense. I like to think of it as writing five seconds in the past.

I will check them out more closely. They align with my prices points lol

I wish they were more attractive. But I didn’t exactly put that in my description above.
